Knowledge is the one of the important things in our live. By this one, we’ll know more about the greatest of Allah. Knowledge, science, opens all of the secrets of this world. It can bring us to our God because we’ll see that this world would never be without the creator.
We can take more advantages from our knowledge. Our live will be better than before. But, it will be more benefit if knowledge is not only for us, but the others too. How to do it? One of the ways is teaching. This way will make our knowledge is more useful cause the taught people can use, even developes our knowledge.
Islam orders us to deliver our knowledge and it’s one of the good deeds in Islam.
حدثنا يحيى بن أيوب وقتيبة يعني بن سعيد وابن حجر قالوا حدثنا إسماعيل هو بن جعفر عن
العلاء عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إذا مات الإنسان انقطع عنه عمله إلا من ثلاثة إلا من صدقة جارية أو علم ينتفع به أو ولد صالح يدعو له (رواه المسلم
Told from Yahya bin Ayyub from Yu’ni bin Sa’id and Ibnu Haja, told from Ismail bin Ja’far from ‘Ula` from his father from Abi Hurairah: Rosulullah SAW said, when the person dies, the deeds will be broken except three things, shodaqoh jariah (charity), benefit knowledge, and the pious child who always prays the parents.
That hadith tells us that benefit knowledge will make our live be useful. Knowledge can bring us near to the God. The benefit knowledge will bring us to the unstoppable merit. So, how to make our knowledge be more benefits and be useful?
Knowledge will be more benefit and useful if we use it to make our world and our environment be better. We deliver everything in our brain to make the others be smart and scholar. The delivered knowledge will help the others use it to survive and improve their live. It’s the mean that the benefit of delivered knowledge unstoppable.
Ok, we have talked more about how to make our knowledge be benefit. Now, we’ll talk about how to get knowledge. These are many ways to get knowledge. We can use them to get successful learning. These were taken from Ta’lim al muta’allim book. This one is the book that is used by students at traditional Moslem schools.
وأنشدت و قيل إنّه لعلي ابن أبي طالب كرّم الله وجهه:
ألالاتنال العلم إلاّ بستّة سأنبيك عن مجموعها ببيان
ذكاء وحرص والصطبار وبلغة وإرشاد أستاذ و طول زمان (تعليم,55
Told by Ali bin Abi Thalib Karromallahu Wajhah,
Remember! The knowledge will unobtainable except by six things. It will be explain clearly.
Be thinker, be diligent, be patient, have supply, guideline (by teacher), and long life learning.
These elements show us that student centered is the model in Islamic. Guideline (by teacher) is the only one element that teacher is engaged. The five elements is in learner or student engaging.
The Explanation and collaboration with modern theory will be written in other time. Insya Allah.
